Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute a contract modification for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive Phase B SR104 - Williams Road project. This project is located within the Far South Community Planning Area.
The Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive Phase B SR104 - Williams Road project was awarded to George J. Igel & Company through the bid process and approved by City Council with Ordinance 0997-2012. The project consists of the widening and reconstruction of approximately 2.07 miles of Alum Creek Drive from SR104 to Williams Road, the addition of curb and gutter, a closed drainage system and street lighting, 850 feet of widening and reconstruction on Watkins Road, the addition of 4 miles of 8 foot wide shared use path/sidewalk on both sides of Alum Creek Drive; and the construction or reconstruction of handicap ramps at appropriate locations including intersections, service drives and driveways.
This contract modification is necessary to add funds to pay for construction delays caused by utility relocations. A negotiation with the utility company resulted in a reimbursement to the City for the delays. The money now needs to be added to the contract so the contractor can be paid.
